Today's POD of the Whitetail Deer reminds me of how you don't see many deer in the park or at least not as many as you would think should be there.

I've seen maybe a dozen deer in all my trips. I asked Quetico Dave who hunts both deer and moose why so few deer at least where I've been.

  He told me that when they first started logging around the park edges off Hyw 17, the deer hunting was great. The deer flocked there because of all the new growth which made for easier pickings come winter.

  Then he said the wolves followed them and now the deer hunting is terrible. He said he didn't see ONE deer all hunting season the last couple of years.
Plenty of moose though.

Pleasant setting.  I like the big erratics....I always wonder why here? 
PK.  I've been on a few canoe trips with teens.  We were on a four hour time difference inasmuch as I'd be "trying" to sleep four hours before they'd go to bed and visa versa in the morning.  Actually they were great trips.  I don't drink but I almost made a run on my son's scotch stash!  Funny stuff and great memories

I'd like to someday own or build a house in a rural area and import a large erratic for the front yard. 

Today's POD shows the teen crew on Oyster Lake relaxing on a large granite ledge angling into water that was around 90-feet deep a short cast from shore.  The next morning (July 3, 2007) I fished for a bit at sunrise while the boys slept in before our move to Nina Moose.  This was a nice south-facing campsite on the Oyster peninsula....the granite ledge was just to the right in this photo....

We actually fit 3 tents in here (Site 1782, 4 stars).  There's two additional 5-star sites, one just northeast (1773) and one across the lake due east (1774).  Both were taken, but we liked 1782 as well.
